Does anyone remember this bike??
Hi
I was recently on holiday and got talking to my friend and I remembered something from my childhood. Specifically a bike that was all the rage, and I remember desparately wanting one, but of course it was too expensive, and I ended up with a standard BMX (which would have been quite expensive in itself anyway). I'm trying to remember the name of the bike, so that I can hopefully find some pictures of it online. It was basically the shape of a BMX, and most of the metal frame was covered with some black plastic. The whole bike was a sleek black design and the best part was the "sound machine" near the handlebars, which would emit sounds of a police siren and other such sounds, if the button was pressed. This bike was THE COOLEST THING if you were about 8 years old in about 1988 or so. Sorry my description is a bit vague, but I'm hoping somebody has an idea of what I'm talking about.

No it was nothing like that. It was like the entire frame, and handlebars,
had a black plastic covering, so the whole thing had a plasticky, but cool, sleek black look to it. |

Only GT freestyle bikes or Haro and Mongoose BMX bikes were allowed in my neighborhood. But I do remember the grip mounted "twist throttle" noise makers that sounded like a motorcycle engine that were available in the late 70's and early 80's. - Chris - www.skokatt.com _____________________________ People say I'm cruel.
